X Priest X formed in London in the late 1970s, with frontman Damien Blackheart, guitarist Raven Shadow, bassist Obsidian Knight, and drummer Infernal Fury. Their debut album was called 'Shadowed Oath.'
Their music drew criticism from some religious groups and conservative audiences for its macabre imagery and lyrics about darkness and the occult. The band's song 'Dark Sun' became particularly well-known.
X Priest X went through several lineup changes over time, though Blackheart and Shadow remained core members. They released a series of albums that found an audience in heavy metal circles.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
